16 Rumble in the Park

“Well. Well. Well. Look what the cat dragged into the park.” I’d been so focused on the magic ring and the whole process that I hadn’t paid any attention to the rest of the world.

The voice was behind me so Sandy and John could see who it was but Annabeth and I couldn’t. They both looked startled and apprehensive, but Sandy kept moving the charms and charging them. Nobody broke the circle, although I could hear the sound of someone approaching.

Actually, I could hear the sound of several someone’s approaching.

Two charms left, then one charm. Neither Sandy or John said anything which was strange. I felt the hair on my neck standing up.

Final charm done! Sandy, John, and Annabeth pulled out of the circle in record time. I pulled my magic and made sure Penny was safe around my index finger before turning around.

What I saw completely shocked me. I’m used to seeing with my magic sight and my natural sight at the same time and usually they are complimentary. For example, the elephant charm looked like a regular charm to my natural site, but it glowed with pink light to my magical site. My magical sight just usually makes things more interesting.

The woman I was looking at was the complete opposite of that. To my natural sight she looked like a real life version of Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. Long dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, tight fitting shirt with big boobs and slim waist, tight pants with hips and legs for days. Arched eyebrows with perfect skin made her look like a Photoshop version of a real person. She was a walking bad ass sex kitten.

She was every boy’s wet dream, unless they saw the magical side. The only word for what I saw there was abomination—something that should not exist in nature.

Her magic was diseased and rotten. It rolled and billowed around her like a putrid fog. Chunks of it would fall off, like a fruit that had been left so long it was brown, slimy, and falling apart. It would slide down her aura, only to be absorbed again. Her magic looked like it was puking, eating the puke, then puking again.

I thought I saw a face scream at me before fading away. I had never smelled magic before, but she smelled like bodies that had been left in the dark for days. I wanted to run away, wash my hands, something.

Say what you will about the quality of the magic, the quantity of it was enormous. It was thick and powerful, easily the most forceful display of magic I had seen. There was so much it trailed along the ground behind her and towered over her head that I had no doubt that she could hit and hit very hard.

“Annabeth, Jason get behind me,” Sandy said quietly. I was only too happy to do so. I probably looked like a scared rabbit, but I didn’t care. I wanted nothing to do with whoever this was.
